The Sequential Agent Pattern
Chaining multiple specialised agents into a pipeline where each one builds on the last. Illustrated with a TypeScript CLI that fetches a quote, researches its author, and writes an inspiration card.
The Parallel Agent Pattern
When agents do not depend on each other, run them at the same time. Illustrated with a TypeScript translation pipeline built with Google ADK that translates a phrase into three languages simultaneously, then aggregates the results with Gemini.
The Single Agent Pattern
A look at the simplest agentic AI pattern: one model, one tool, zero orchestration. Illustrated with a tiny TypeScript agent built with the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) that uses Gemini and Google Maps to review any place by name.
Watch the Past Move: Animating Historic Photos with Gemini and Veo
What if you could take a dusty old black-and-white photograph and watch it come to life? In this post, I walk through a Node.js pipeline that colorises historic photos with Gemini and then animates them into video using Veo 3.1.
Building a Historical Time Machine with Gemini and Google Maps
Have you ever wondered what your favourite landmark looked like a hundred years ago? In this post, I walk you through a Node.js application that generates historically accurate photographs of any real-world location at any point in time, and even checks its own work for anachronisms.
